How would I keep the camera facing the player during a tween?

#1

I’m moving the camera’s CFrame to a part’s CFrame, but I want it to still look at the player.

I’ve tried rotating the part and things like that, but none of them have worked.

Here’s a video of what I want it to look like: (i just want the first 2 parts, where the camera tweens away, and then back to the character)

and here’s what i have:

Here’s my script:

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.CameraMover
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(part)

	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
	
	camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Head
	TweenService:Create(camera, tweeninfo, {CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position)}):Play()

	wait(3.3)

	TweenService:Create(camera, tweeninfo, {CFrame = CFrame.new(player.Character.Head.Position)}):Play()

	wait(3.3)

	camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Humanoid
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

end)

tweening takes the target CFrame as it is so it wont be updated everytime to look at the player. u can make it look at the player by utilizing CFrame.LookAt function inside an renderstepped event

u can do it this way

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.CameraMover
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local completed = false

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(part)

	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
	
	camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Head
	TweenService:Create(camera, tweeninfo, {CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position)}):Play()

	wait(3.3)

	TweenService:Create(camera, tweeninfo, {CFrame = CFrame.new(player.Character.Head.Position)}):Play()

	wait(3.3)

	camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Humanoid
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
        completed = true
        task.wait(1)
        completed = false
end)

local conn 
conn = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position, player.Character.Head.Position)
	if completed then conn:Disconnect() end
end)

This doesn’t work.

It’s just constantly moving the camera, even when I haven’t used the spell.

It didn’t work at first, then when it reached the part, it worked, then stopped and when it got back to my head it killed me.
